About the role

We’re hiring an experienced UX/UI Designer who can take BA produced wireframes and transform them into production ready Figma designs, while building and governing a Design System used across our products. You’ll partner with Product, BA, and Engineering to ship clean, consistent, and accessible interfaces for data heavy B2B web apps.

What you’ll do (Responsibilities)

• Translate BA wireframes and requirements into high fidelity Figma screens using Auto Layout, constraints, and responsive patterns.
• Define user flows, IA, and interactions; create clickable prototypes and run quick validation (usability tests, stakeholder reviews).
• Build and maintain the Design System: foundations (color, type, spacing, grid), design tokens, components, patterns, usage guidelines, and release notes.
• Establish governance & contribution model for the DS (versioning, naming conventions, review process, changelogs).
• Partner with frontend engineers to map tokens to code (e. g. , Tailwind config), keep Figma components in sync with the codebase (Storybook/Docs).
• Produce developer ready specs (Figma Dev Mode, component properties, redlines, assets) and support implementation.
• Ensure accessibility, responsiveness, and performance friendly UI patterns.
• Lead design reviews, advocate for UX quality, and coach teammates on DS usage and UX standards.
• Monitor product UX health (e. g. , heuristics, analytics/behavior tools) and drive iterative improvements.

Must have qualifications

• 5+ years of UX/UI experience with shipped web products (portfolio required).
• Figma expert: components & variants, Auto Layout, component properties, variables/tokens, prototyping.
• Proven track record building/owning an organization level Design System (from foundations to complex components) with clear documentation.
• Solid UX fundamentals: user flows, IA, interaction design, micro copy, and usability testing.
• Accessibility knowledge (WCAG 2. 1 AA) and responsive layout best practices.
• Strong communication: can explain design decisions, trade offs, and rationale to non design stakeholders.

Nice to have

• Experience aligning a Design System with Tailwind CSS (tokens → tailwind. config. js) and documenting components in Storybook/Zeroheight.
• Familiarity with Vue componentization and front end constraints (no coding required, but helpful).
• Designing data heavy dashboards and complex B2B workflows.
• Motion/micro interactions (Figma prototyping, Smart Animate, Lottie) and iconography/illustration basics.
• Working with analytics/behavior tools (GA4, Hotjar, Full
  Story) and A/B testing.
• Multi brand/theming.

How you’ll work

• Collaborate with BA and Product to clarify requirements and success criteria.
• Run design critiques and DS onboarding sessions for engineers and stakeholders.
• Document decisions and patterns in a central DS hub; keep examples and usage guidelines current.
• Partner closely with Engineering to ensure a smooth handover and post release iteration.

Portfolio requirements

• The problem context and constraints; your role and collaborators.
• The journey from wireframe → high fidelity (showing iterations and reasoning).
• A Design System artifact you created (foundations/components, docs, governance).
• The outcome/impact (qualitative and/or quantitative).

Tools & stack

• Figma, Fig
  Jam, Tokens Studio (variables), Storybook/Zeroheight (docs), Contrast checkers.
• Analytics/behavior: GA4, Hotjar/Full
  Story (or equivalent).
• Handover: Figma Dev Mode; collaboration with FE (Vue/Tailwind).

Experience & background

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience; English proficiency required.
• Experience collaborating with BA, Product, and Engineering in agile environments.

Conditions

• Monday to Friday from 08:00 to 17:00.
• Remuneration compatible with the position and benefits in force in the company.
• Opportunities for professional and personal development.
• Continuous and
  -
  - job training.
• Flexible and modern workplace with an excellent public transport network.
• Collaborative and inclusive working environment.

Hiring process

• 30 min intro (HR/Recruiter).
• Portfolio deep dive (UX foundations, DS examples, wireframe → Figma walkthrough).
• Practical exercise: small DS component + responsive flow from a provided BA wireframe.
• Final interview (cross functional fit & ways of working).
